[STORMREPORTS] Strong Lightning Storm At WeatherMatrix HQ

We just had a severe thunderstorm pass through HQ here in State College PA
with a LOT of lightning (and several power outages) but not much other
fanfare. I think I got some good video of the lightning -- best lightning
storm in a year or two. I will upload a full report by this weekend,
including radar animations and lightning pictures.

We have recorded over 80,000 lightning strokes today, most of those during
this storm, which lasted from 6:30 to 8:30pm, during which we recorded 567
close strikes and up to 763 general strokes per minute.. Any of those may
be a record for this station, I'll have to check.

0735 PM PARK FOREST VILLAGE PA .75 INCH HAIL 06/04/02 CENTRE REPORTED BY
OFF DUTY NWS EMPLOYEE
